Tim Robinson just filmed a new pilot for HBO, and he's ready to share some tantalizing details about it. The off-kilter comedy mastermind behind I Think You Should Leave discussed the new series, The Chair Company, with Collider's Steve Weintraub at the Toronto International Film Festival. Robinson is at the festival to promote his new film, Friendship. I don't know. We just finished it. I would just describe it as very simple.
With this one in particular, when we started working on it, we realized how far it could go and how big it could become. You don’t think of the idea and say, “Okay, this could be one season, this could be two seasons, or this could be three seasons.” It's just as you work on it, then it builds into whatever it's gonna be.
We know all that stuff. But it took us working on it for a long time. We've been working on it for a while.
